just looking for a little corner where I might put in a little track." She'll melt before your very eyes. She'll take you gently by the hand and lead you to some real estate. When she thinks she's ' initiated this action, she feels she's given of herself- and this is important to a woman. Then, you'll never have to apologize, or suffer any guilt, when you deprive her of her view of the neighbors by building a mountain in front of the kitchen window. By the way, notice the key word in your statement. Always say a "little" track. More on this later. But first: . Obiect. This may sound self-defeat- ing, but the reverse is actually true. It will help you land the property you want for your empire. "But, honey," you say, "that's your (choose one) laundry room, sewing room, back porch, kitchen. All I need is a little corner someplace out of the way." By now she's learned to accept you as a member of the household. She's used to having you around. She doesn't really want you "out of the way." If you develop your skill at this technique, you might even get to use the entire living room. Which requires you to: 042 Clean up after. Put your tools away each night. Leave no scraps of balsa on the table or drops of glue hardening on the rug. Never leave anything out that will remind her the next day that you spent the previous evening building your terminal. She'll start reconstructing conversations in her mind. Soon she'll realize that you said but three words during the entire evening. The same three words you spoke the night before, and all last week. This ruins step number 1 (never turn your back) as a working device. You'll have to time yourself- find out how long it takes to get everything stored away in shoe boxes. Because you must: 042 Retire at the same time gs your wife. I can't stress this enough. There is nothing worse for you than a wife lying by herself in the dark, wondering where the magic has gone-while you're still out in the living room checking the driver alignment on your engine (0-4-0). Actually, this is good for you, too. It serves to stretch the hobby out. It will take anywhere from three to twenty times longer to finish any project, and just one major contribution to your pike can give you a full lifetime of pleasure. 042 Minimize. Never, never let your wife see any completed plans for a right-ofway. Always lay a little track. Always require a little corner. Always refer to your little engines, no matter what scale your work is in. And give her time to adjust to the lit- tle track or scenery you've completed. Don'l add too much in any working period. It's like the government: by the time she's noticed how big it has grown, she's already accepted it as part of her life. 042 Ask her advice. But only in non-criti- cal areas. Bring her into the hobby. Let her think she's solved a problem for you. Example: "What material can be used for the scale curtains in the Commercial Hotel?" You'll be surprised, too, she may come up with good answers. She'll take pride in pointing these things out to her friends and neighbors. She'll become involved. She'll become December 1971 1 • LOCOMOTIVE DRAWINGS _147.-7. •. '3=..•.•Mi••M.•9•524198••///g ,--•r- 1.1.-:' ,036.*4"J,-. A. NYC Hudson B. NYC&HR 999 C. PRR 4-8-2 Mla D. SP Daylight E.
